Mondego River

Coimbra, (Centro Region) Portugal

Portugal and Spain share a number of rivers, but the Mondego river is the longest river located exclusively in Portuguese territory.  It starts in the Serra da Estrela mountain chain and flows into the Atlantic Ocean.  Reference is made to this river in a great deal of Portuguese literature as well as traditional music, fado de Coimbra.
